I think it was marked enough territory to make categories knowing what we speak and what to recommend for a particular need.

I must agree with you Musher0, I believe there are many needs and finding a "one-size-fits-all" build is going to be nearly impossible. To accomplish it would require a large amount of space and memory thus sacrificing size. To maintain usable size, you will need to sacrifice certain application - those unwanted or unneeded - by the customer.

There are many aspects of business as there are many different types of business. Your need in a software will depend on the variation you are engaged in. For a small store owner, you might need the POS system, accounting, inventory, and some light project management. As a work-at-home artisan, you may have more need of the database, light accounting, and other tools.

To compile a "fit-all" would require minimal applications of all business aspects. I - for one - am not familiar enough with the many different types of business being conducted. I would find it difficult to perceive all the needs of all businesses. I do have experience with small - family oriented - one store operations. Conducting business both in-person and on line. This is where my talent lies.

Perhaps, as you suggest, we might collaborate and combine the different avenues into one title with many options. By categorizing, we may only need to provide the 'recipe' in a tutorial "how-to" using a selected version of Puppy as the base distro?

Thanks!

Short answer is "yes"! Incidentally I finally got to translating my original message of this. But you got the jist of it.

I totally agree with you that this should be a project where we collaborate, combine programs and/or templates, and mentor through how-tos (including this thread) concerning what exists. Perhaps now and then provide a needed package if it does not already exist on Puppy.

You are right, there are so many fields of activity in business that it is impossible for one solution to tackle all -- let alone one person. As an illustration, you may want to take a look at the site speadsheetZONE -- listing by fields...

But we can certainly include the basics -- the common tools of what makes a business a business -- in a specialized Puppy.
